BIOGRAPHY

Massimo Motta was born in 1952 in Milan and lives and works there . He graduated in biology at the University of Milan. At first he used photography in the scientific field. With an initial interest in art. And little by little he ended up focusing his attention directly on art and precisely in the language of photography. He did so by constantly and rigorously going beyond the aesthetic effect, inspired by a restlessness of composition and the use of critical relationships within the events of technique, technology and the history of photography. He is one of the few photographic artists who involves painting in the discipline; an experimental process that began with the series of works entitled “On This Side of Time “, “Light and Night”, “Shadows”. He has recently developed a new series entitled “Trasfigurazioni” based on the interest in a pure photography without the use of painting.

Massimo Motta is a sportsman, He loves ski and mountains, he appreciates silence and the possibility, during demanding walks, of being alone with himself.
